Signatures for Alamo study reach halfway mark

Original post made

A little over a month has gone by since petitioners were first spotted perched in Alamo Plaza, clipboards tucked under their arms. In those five weeks, cityhood supporters have gathered more than half the signatures they need to initiate a Local Agency Formation Commission study on whether Alamo incorporation is financially practical.

Dear Ms. O'Neill,

Mr. Kenber needs to explain his misstatement of FACT. The Incorporation Petition contains an incorporation proposal that specifies an autonomous goverment and city council under general law of California. This petition is part of an application to Contra Costa County LAFCo to form such an autonomous government without obligation to citizens' participation via commissions and committees allowable under the general law of California.

All study by LAFCo, under the general law of California, is to say YES or NO to incorporation proposal summarized in the petition and detailed in the LAFCo application for such a city incorporation.
